  • Are Tectonic Plates always this yummy?

    Published 20/11/20, by Cressida Whitfield

    For our Geography this week, we have been learning about tectonic plates. We learnt that there are three types of plates which cause different things. To completely immersive the children in their learning, we showed the tectonic plates movement using biscuits. The children could see this very clearly and were able to apply this to their work. All children were able to resist eating them!

    Maybe you could try this at home and eat them! Yummy Tectonic Plates!

  • Year 3 Remembers...

    Published 19/11/20, by Cressida Whitfield

    On 11th November, Year 3 stood up and were silent at 11am for 2 minutes to remember the current fallen soldiers from all wars. We watched the live coverage from the Cenotaph from London. 

    We also got donuts delivered from Mrs Herbaut. In WW1, the ladies baked donuts for the soldiers to help their morale. The children loved learning about this and eating the donuts too! 

    We also learnt a lot about a boy called Jack Cornwell known as Jutland Jack. We were surprised to hear that he went to the Battle of Jutland at the age of 16! He also learnt that he unfortunately died. After his death, he was awarded the Victoria Cross for this courage. Year 3, then wrote a letter pretending to be Jack's Captain writing to his mother informing her that he had own a Victoria Cross.

  • Making storms in Year 3!

    Published 02/11/20, by Cressida Whitfield

    In English, we are looking at the film called 'Blue Umbrella'. This tells a story of a blue umbrella who gets lost in a storm but is saved by a red umbrella. The story is set in New York while a thunderstorm is happening. 

    We used our bodypart and instruments to create a soundscape of the storm. We filmed it and showed the children the effect of it. Ask your child to teach you how to create one :)
